New Zealand’s cool climate gives our Sparkling Cuvée Rosé an elegant flavour profile with the characteristics of fragrant cherry and fresh strawberry aromas, and a crisp, refreshing finish.
Oyster Bay Sparkling Cuvée Rosé is a skilful blend of 20% Pinot Noir and 80% Chardonnay. The fruit is gently crushed and pressed for a short period of skin contact. This gives the wine its colour and imparts delicate fragrant flavours. The wine then undergoes a primary fermentation in tank. Free run Chardonnay juice is cold settled to partial clarity, followed by a slow, temperature controlled primary fermentation for several weeks to develop elegant, assertive flavours. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines are blended to create the Cuvée base wine which is inoculated with neutral yeast to ensure the pristine and aromatic fruit characters are retained. A secondary slow fermentation in tank is undertaken to naturally impart delicate bubbles in the wine. Following a short period of lees contact, the wine is bottled young to capture the fresh, varietal intensity.
